Imperial City.
Northeast region, Songhou Mansion.
Buildings with rather unique shapes are scattered throughout the mansion. Although there are many in number, they are organized in an orderly manner and do not appear chaotic.
Southeast of the Hou Mansion.
In a side hall.
Dozens of alchemy furnaces are arranged side by side inside.
In front of each alchemy furnace, there is an alchemist sitting cross-legged, carefully taking care of the elixirs in the furnace.
The temperature inside the hall was much higher than outside. More than ten alchemy qi gathered together, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance, and at the same time, the faces of the alchemists became increasingly blurred.
these people.
But he was an alchemist recruited by the Song Hou Mansion.
Above the border.
Naturally, there are also alchemists accompanying the army.
But compared to the huge demand for elixirs, the number of alchemists is far from enough.
Without any choice.
Each family or army can only offer high rewards, recruit some casual alchemists to refine the elixirs for them, and then send them to the front lines.
These alchemists in the palace.
Naturally, he was also recruited by the Song family.
puff!
suddenly.
An old alchemist's face turned pale, but he spit out a mouthful of blood, dyeing the alchemy furnace in front of him blood red!
"Fellow Daoist Xue!"
"How are you doing?"
"Oh, what are you doing so hard for?"
"..."
moment.
Several alchemists who were familiar with him quickly gathered around him.
This alchemist who vomits blood.
Of course it was Doctor Xue.
"I……"
His face was gray and his eyes were dull. He was obviously at the end of his strength, but he was still struggling to get up.
"I'm fine."
Said.
He glanced at the alchemy furnace.
Wisps of black smoke continued to float out, obviously it had been refined.
"well……"
He sighed softly, his eyes filled with distress.
"Fellow Daoist Xue."
A middle-aged alchemist frowned.
"With all due respect, you are working so hard to refine elixirs, and you have accumulated hidden injuries in your body. Your life will be in danger at any time. No matter how much resources you earn... but if you are dead, what's the use?"
The madness of Doctor Xue.
He has already learned the lesson.
Within two months.
A total of 10,000 Yuan-Returning Pills were refined, and the efficiency was five or six times that of theirs!
There was certainly a factor in this because of Xue Shenyi's superior alchemy skills, but the bigger reason was that he was almost desperate and didn't care about his own injuries.
"..."
Doctor Xue remained silent.
After accidentally learning that Xue Yu was still alive, he no longer took his own life seriously.
Song Jian's words still ring in his ears.
Ten thousand?
If Xue Yu can be rescued.
Even though he risked his life and turned into ashes, he didn't complain at all!
boom!
Suddenly.
The door to the side hall was pushed open hard!
"who!"
Three young men with arrogant looks walked in, but they smelled the smell.
"Who destroyed the elixir?"
"Hmph, all the wasted materials will be deducted from your remuneration!"
"What a bunch of trash, they can't even make elixirs well!"
"Haha, isn't that what a casual alchemist is like? He was born in Yeluzi. If the war hadn't been tight, how could he have used this group of trash?"
"..."
The three of them looked sarcastic.
The words are extremely vicious.
"you!"
Some people couldn't bear it anymore.
"You are also alchemists, so you should know that there is no 100% certainty in refining alchemy. Isn't it normal to occasionally fail a furnace..."
"Shut up!"
r>
Among three people.
The man in the middle looked gloomy.
"You, this month's alchemy reward is gone!"
"you……"
The man was about to retort.
But he was held back by the people around him.
"Oh, just bear with it, we are from casual cultivators, we can't fight against them."
"Xue Mao!"
The man sneered.
His eyes instantly fell on Doctor Xue.
"I knew it was you!"
"You must have made this furnace of elixir useless!"
